Mimi Fox

Mimi “Fast Fingertips” Fox is among the hardly any established female jazz guitarists (alongside Emily Remler and Mary Osborne), her enthusiasm and complex excellence gracing the albums and shows of Darol Anger, Rhiannon, and Terry Garthwaite. Mainly self-taught, Fox concentrated in early stages folk designs until she noticed John Coltrane’s seminal Large Steps at age group 14. Fox’s early affects — Aretha Franklin, Dixieland, and traditional jazz — emerge in her evocative interpretations of jazz with golf swing stylings, blues, Latin, and her forte, bebop. Against the Grain, Fox’s debut launch, proven her playful mastery of specifications and inspired understanding through medleys, convincing founded jazz aficionados, awing young fans, and also earning some pop listeners. Mimi Fox: Live, Fox’s following release, demonstrated the explosive power of an improvisational strategy by a assured artist encircled by empathic players.
